DESCRIPTION
Kanonkop Wines are famed throughout South Africa for their consistent quality, purity and finesse. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and brooding and the aromas arising from the glass are hugely complex. Wet tobacco, oak spice, blackberry coulis, chai tea and fresh soil combine in the bouquet. The palate is equally diverse - you may decipher sweet raspberry and morello cherry with roasted coffee beans. All of these notes play out on a delicate latticework of tannins. Think sauce-heavy meals and steak.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is arguably the most prestigious wine region in South Africa. Located in the coastal region of the Western Cape, east of Cape Town, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes and sheltered by the surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir of granite, schist and sandy soils makes it possible to produce both powerful reds and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also known for its refined Chenin Blanc, distinguished Chardonnay and expressive Syrah. Home to many iconic estates, the appellation remains a showcase of South African craft.
